Instructions

Clean and discard any bad okra. Then wash, cut the tips off and wipe dry the okra.
In a frying pan or cast-iron skillet, add the oil.
Sauté the ginger and garlic for 30 seconds.
Then, add the sliced onions. Saute until onions are translucent.
Next, add the okra. Cook on medium to high heat, stirring constantly for 2 minutes (medium to high heat will prevent the okra from becoming sticky).
Season with salt and pepper.
Add ¼ cup water - continue to cook - stirring often.
Cook until okra is fork-tender - adding another few tablespoons of water as necessary.
Finally, add the chili flakes and lemon juice.
Taste and adjust seasoning.
